New to Blu: December 7 – 13

Superheroes abound on Blu-ray this week, from an extended cut of Suicide Squad in 2D, 3D and 4K editions (although the extra footage is limited to 2DBD only) to a slew of Marvel and DC TV series.

Also new are seasons one of Outcast and three of Penny Dreadful, a special edition of Mad Max: Fury Road, and box sets of Mad Maxand Jason Bourne (the latest instalment of which includes a 4K release, too).

The full slate, with selected critics’ thoughts on PQ:

Suicide Squad (“outstanding, top notch audio and video presentations and a slew of extras”)

Jason Bourne (“grain can be a little thick, but it’s evenly distributed and the transfer enjoys a quality filmic appearance”)

I notice The Avengers TV show is being released on DVD in New Zealand but not on Blu-ray, I hope there is a good reason why … I actually have got season 5 of The Avengers Blu-ray on its way from Amazon UK 🙂

The UK StudioCanal Avengers s05 has to be better than the awful US Lionsgate version! That has mediocre picture – the whole season is crammed onto 3 discs vs 7 for the UK. Sound is poor – lossy Dolby Digital in fake 5.1.

Yay, my Avengers Blu-ray arrived from Amazon UK today and having watched disc 1 I’m totally blown away by how amazing it looks in HD, the colours are so bright at times it stuns the eyeballs and it also includes fun extras 🙂
